What do basophils do in the immune system, and what happens if levels are high or low? - #14696
I recently got my blood test results, and my doctor mentioned something about my basophils. I don’t fully understand what they are or why their levels matter. What exactly are basophils, and what role do they play in the immune system? I read that they are a type of white blood cell, but are they mainly responsible for allergic reactions, or do they have other functions? Also, what does it mean if basophil levels are high or low? Does it indicate allergies, infections, or something more serious? I also want to know if diet or lifestyle changes can naturally balance basophil levels. Are there Ayurvedic remedies that support a healthy immune response without increasing inflammation? If anyone has had abnormal basophil levels, what was the cause, and did it require treatment? Did adjusting your diet or lifestyle make a difference?
